METHODISTS DRAW PLANS FOR CHURCH
New Structure To Replace University Church At Jefferson and Vermont. Building Starts Soon
Plans Tor ttuilding a new University Methodist Church to replace the one now located at Jefferson and Vermont, and for bringing a new pastor to the ghurch, are being completed by the official church board of trustees, according to Professor Carl Knopf.
Although occupancy of the present church building, which has been sold, has been secured for the next two years, it is expected that the new church, to be situated probably on University Avenue, will be ready for use before then.
“The new church is being arranged to serve a wider purpose than one of the ordinary denominational typo, although it will be, of course, a Methodist institution,” said Professor Knopf. "We are going to try to establish a church which will appeal to those who are too far away from home to attend a church of their own particular denomination, in addition to members of the Methodist Church.” "The pastor has not yet been definitely decided upon,” concluded Professor Knopf, ‘‘but he will be a man who has an active and intelligent understanding of college life in general.”

Some of the ideas exchanged with the delegates from other campuses and considered valuable by the two local representatives will be reviewed.
It has been the custom of the student body to send the captain of the football team and the president of the student body to this midyear convention, but due to the absence of the latter the Trojan editor was appointed to represent the university officially. The meeting convened December 26 to Jan. 2.

SKULL AND MORTAR COMES ON CAMPUS
Feeling the need for a society in the College of Pharmacy, that would stimulate and promote greater service to the University, the faculty of that college has sanctioned the formation of Skull and Mortar, honorary fraternity. It is hoped that through this society the students of Pharmacy will be brought into closer contact with the other campus colleges.
The election of society officers will take place once a year. These positions will only be open to those students who have entered their sophomore year. The members will be chosen because of their activities and service to the University as a whole.
The following men have been chosen for their activity and service: George Guild ’29; Carl Weiner ’29; Morrie Burke *29; Sam Lerin ’29; Milton Zuker ’29; Louis Leppe ’29; Burton Kientzner ’29; Frank Puthoff ’29; Clark Rood ’28; and Glenn Wike-sell ’28.
Students And Professors Start Trojan War
By A. TWIRP
So all the little college students played examinations and all the professors played policeman—and an excellent time was had by all.
Now that the old grind is beginning for another week of tragedy, and the profs are devising an efficient system of mental torture and physical captivity, it looks like another Trojan War.
Pathetic, but nevertheless, comical, is the sight of a poor student who has gone astray in the halls of great: libraries, or become insane through good intentions of turning in a “wow" of a term paper.
Only one little silver-lined cloud on the horizon—vacation is coming, children, even if Santa Claus has went. Co-eds are already planning “pretty parties” all for sororities, and fraternity men are arranging to adopt stray Freshman girls as soon as they venture on campus.
SENIOR LAWYERS CONDUCT CASES IN PRACTICE COURTS
Graduating Students File Appeals And Go Through All Legal Procedures.
Last Tuesday night marked the first full calendar of cases in the Practice Court session of Law School since vacation. All the regular judges in the department of court were present, according to Professor Glen E. Whitney, in charge of practice court at the Southern California Law School.
Full calendars have been set for January 18 and January 19. In the meantime seniors are filing their appeal cases. Assignments for the probate cases are now being made. Each senior is required to conduct three cases, prosecute two appeals, and complete one probate proceeding from the five of the petitions for letters of administration or letters testiment-ary to the final accounting, and petition for distribution and final discharge.
Practice court is required for graduation from the Southern California Law School. This work prepares a student so that he will be able to conduct a case through any of the courts immediately upon his admission to practice of law. All students of the University are invited to attend the practice court sessions, which are held every Tuesday night. Courts are conducted in the same manner as the regular courts of record in the state of California.
DEPUTATIONS SKIT CAST IS SELECTED
That the entire cast for' the Deputations sketch has not yet been chosen, and that there is still room for talented entertainers, is the announcement of Sam Gates, chairman of the deputations committee. The members of the cast that have been selected so far are: Tiny Sonholt, Allene Powers, Lib Alexander, Bryant Hale, and Betty White.
The sketch is in tne form of a musical and dramatic offering, and will be presented at many of the major high schools of Southern California with an objet of stirring high school students with a desire to attend college.
“In presenting the musical comedy, the actors will be rendering a distinct service to the university, since the sketch will be a representation of college life at Southern California.
“In order to make the presentation a success,” states Gates, “the committee must have the whole-hearted co-operation of the entire university, and a good cast is necessary.”
The first rehearsal will be held this afternoon at 3:00 p. m. in Bovard Auditorium. At that time, any students talented along singing, dancing or acting lines are asked to see Grant La Mont, director.
Efforts are being made by the committee to have the sketch presented throughout Southern California. These will include San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Barbara, and Bakersfield.
With these lines we bid farewell to those Trojans who are closing their undergraduate days with us. A mid-semester senior does not finish with all the pomp and attention, that must come with a June graduation. Nevertheless, friends, your influence among us has been felt and we are going to miss you. We hope you will not become buried in your various professions to the extent that you forget us who still have time to go, and we in turn will keep a place in our memory for you. Success to you, Trojans! We hope that you will carry that name high and far to bring credit to the Alma Mater that gave it to you.

A last word before we go into the finals. There has been much said to the effect that a professor who uses the stern proctorial system is only challenging his class to cheat. It does have the effect of a challenge, no doubt. But it will not cover cheating. A gentleman may resent such patrolling but he will not vent it by the childish practice of sneaking one over on the prof. Because when he has succeeded he has not hurt the prof. He has hurt the grade of the honest student next to him, that is all. The next few days will show whether or not we really want an honor spirit.

The matter of interpreting the new constitution lias not been settled, because of the lack of a quorum at the meeting yesterday, but we feel that the committee members all understand the situation and that the thing will be straightened out immediately after vacation. It is admitted that the committee representation is rather inexplicable, but the new constitution was drawn up to work out of that beginning with the new elections in the spring, not to try to unravel the tangle that exists now.
* * *
Some of the committee members felt that our argument about going into the grades of the present committee was not sound. Perhaps not, but the putting off of the members would be wrong on other counts as well. Certainly no one who worked for the new constitution did so with the belief that it was to affect the present members.

It is gratifying to know that the new feature page attempt was appreciated. There are a good many more questions that will stand the same looking into. Incidentally, we should like to sav that we have seldom read a more sensible article than that written by our “Non-Fraternity” friend for the page yesterday. It isn’t that we agreed with him at every point, but -His frank approach to the problem made everyone feel at least that he was fair in his thinking.

She presented her material from a practical, rather than an ethical standpoint, for those interested in copywriting, selling space, commer-cal art work, and selling the merchandise.
Illustrations of direct mail advertising that has been successful in selling the merchandise were shown by Mrs. Maynard. She also discussed the appeals necessary to get the attention of the buyers, and the services a store renders to its customers. Changing conditions of the past few years were mentioned, and attention drawn to the methods by which the Jones Book Store had attempted to meet them.'

There are fifteen positions open for engineers to be filled and applicants for these positions are asked to call at the office within the next few days if they wish to secure them.
The demands are so urgent for high school mathematics teachers that inexperienced teachers will be considered if their work has been of an outstanding nature.
BOTH FIVES STRONG
Laraneta, Lewis, Brunner, Hibbs, and Badgro Make Strong Combination.
By "DEKE’ HOULGATE
While the main object in life on the campus at present seems to be that of suddenly enticing knowledge and information into hither-to unburdened brains, one group of students have an equally arduous task both tonight and tomorrow evening. The group referred to is none other than the Trojan basketball varsity, and its task is to send the Arizona Wildcats back to sagt^ cactus, and oblivion by defeating them in the annual two-game series which happens to be scheduled for the pavilion this week-end.
THREE DEFEATS Arizona has had three disastrous treks to Southern California these last three years. Prior to 1924 the Wildcats enjoyed a comfortable superiority over the Trojans on the court, their basketball teams being consistent in victory whenever they met Troy. Gordon Campbell and the great team he led in ’24 changed all that by taking both games in an emphatic fashion. The de«ert cats were turned back twice in ’25 and ’26, with little effort, but are making their annual sojourn this year with a great team (Continued on Page Three)

Sheiks Serve As Sisters; Red Heads Preferred
By MURIEL HEEB
“Won’t you be a Big Sister?”
But the feminine half of the campus doesn’t seem as enthusiastic as does the dumber sex, and fraternity men seem to be more than willing to look after poor little frightened freshman girls and give them that feefing of protection that only a “great, big, wonderful cave-in” can inspire.
The tea-hounds are again on the trail, and the second semester W.S.G.A. tea will probably have its due of campus bad men. Strange isn’t it how the seniors stoop to cradle-snatching at.the beginning of each semester?
Traternities have signed en masse to adopt the coming darlings. Their plans will probably be slightly disarranged after sorority rushing—that is, if any of the girls survive.
Contrary to a somewhat recent theory, red-heads are preferred, so those famous H20 maidens will have to fade into oblivion until another season.

BOTH FIVES STRONG
Laraneta, Lewis, Brunner, Hibbs, and Badgro Make Strong Combination.
By "DEKE’ HOULGATE
While the main object in life on the campus at present seems to be that of suddenly enticing knowledge and information into hither-to unburdened brains, one group of students have an equally arduous task both tonight and tomorrow evening. The group referred to is none other than the Trojan basketball varsity, and its task is to send the Arizona Wildcats back to sagt^ cactus, and oblivion by defeating them in the annual two-game series which happens to be scheduled for the pavilion this week-end.
THREE DEFEATS Arizona has had three disastrous treks to Southern California these last three years. Prior to 1924 the Wildcats enjoyed a comfortable superiority over the Trojans on the court, their basketball teams being consistent in victory whenever they met Troy. Gordon Campbell and the great team he led in ’24 changed all that by taking both games in an emphatic fashion. The de«ert cats were turned back twice in ’25 and ’26, with little effort, but are making their annual sojourn this year with a great team (Continued on Page Three)

Sheiks Serve As Sisters; Red Heads Preferred
By MURIEL HEEB
“Won’t you be a Big Sister?”
But the feminine half of the campus doesn’t seem as enthusiastic as does the dumber sex, and fraternity men seem to be more than willing to look after poor little frightened freshman girls and give them that feefing of protection that only a “great, big, wonderful cave-in” can inspire.
The tea-hounds are again on the trail, and the second semester W.S.G.A. tea will probably have its due of campus bad men. Strange isn’t it how the seniors stoop to cradle-snatching at.the beginning of each semester?
Traternities have signed en masse to adopt the coming darlings. Their plans will probably be slightly disarranged after sorority rushing—that is, if any of the girls survive.
Contrary to a somewhat recent theory, red-heads are preferred, so those famous H20 maidens will have to fade into oblivion until another season.
